Why Brett Gitzel is fundraising for clean water

On my 36th birthday I will run 36 km with the hopes that 36 people will donate $36 CAD ($27 USD) for clean water

Pour yourself a cup of water from your sink. Super easy. I usually don't even think about it.

But many people around the world don’t have that luxury. Every day, about 1,400 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections and BioSand filters that help provide clean water to communities around the world.

I started this fundraising campaign to help charity: water build these types of projects around the world, and I'm looking for anyone who can help me.

Please donate to my campaign -- anything you can give is a huge help.

100% of the money will be used to build clean water projects, and when they’re complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community we helped.
